Choose the number that will come next in the following series.
3, 8, 11, 19, 30, 49, ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 79
From the third term on, each term is the sum of the two terms before it:
\(3+8=11\)
\(8+11=19\)
\(11+19=30\)
\(19+30=49\)
\(30+49=79\)
So the next number is 79.
